ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 reverses the effects of Hcy on inducing Cyt c cytoplasmic translocation and apoptosis in H/R H9C2 cells. (A) Western blotting was performed to determine the expression levels of ERK and apoptosis-related proteins. Bar graphs show semiquantitative analysis of the levels of p/total ERK, p-p38, PPARγ, p53, cleaved caspase 3 and Cyt c, as determined by band density analysis. (B) The apoptosis rate was evaluated using Annexin V-FITC and PI staining, using an imaging flow cytometer. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.005. Cyto, cytoplasmic; Cyt c, cytochrome c; Hcy, DL-homocysteine; H/R, hypoxia-reoxygenation; Mito, mitochondrial; p, phosphorylated; PI; propidium iodide; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ.
